Klaino Aboisl SI. Washington, April 5, 1S8H. Washington no longer has even half j <>1* a Congress. On Tuesday afternoon the Senate adjourned sine die. The liI nal day, although tlu* session was only three hours long, was not without inI teres!. It was marked especially hy i '.he failure to pass the tribute of respect 11:> .Joint Iiri.uht ottered hy Senator | Stewart oil the preceding (lay. The principal opposition came from Senator.-; Sherman and Reagan, hotli of jwhom held that the precedent thus es' talilishe<l might some day give the Senjate trouble. Air. J'eagan took occasion J lo call attention to the fact that a similar resolution previously adopted coin! nlimentarv to a nieniher of the German I Reichstag 1 i:i< 1 1 >1*1*11 disdainfully re| turned 1 ?y Jiismark. Senators Hawlcy, Hoar, Toller ami i Stewart were outsj>okeii in favor of tin* adoption of tlit* resolution, and look j this <>|.*]>ortu11ity to eulogize flic action of Mr. iiright towards this country jduriiur the roMlion. It was the voice and influence of John Bright said Mr. ! Hoar, which aroused the sentiment of I the eommou (tcople, of the laboring classes of (Jreat Britain, to the mistake which her leaders were making, and produced a siate of public feeling 'which made England's intervention in jhehaif <>f tlu* rebellion impossible. He added that there were few finer utterances in all literature, few nobler anil I more stimulative utterances in the eloquence of constitutional liberty than llies;1 sentences of John Bright in which he pictured the future of the ! I'nited Slates and its relation to the fu! ture hopes of humanity. j I'ostmaster-f Jeneral Wanamaker | made a notable speech to his Philadelphia Sunday school last Sunday, lie Ua'd in the course of a strong plea for i tem|>erauecobservance that, it is simply a 11lies!ion of whether or not we are in favor of the saloon. It isn't a question of hijih license. The quibble that prohibition does not prohibit has not liing to do with it. The law against stealing docs not prevent stealing. The same oower I hat i.ut- the amend j jt on mil* Constitution will attend to tin* enforcement of tin* law. It is <>ur duty to make it. as dillicult to get liquor as to fret poison. license 1110:111s | that tin* city, the .Slati* and the saloon I keepers shall go into partnership to :uin men, to huild up jails, almshouses, i hospitals, and houses of eorreetion to I keep up the taxes. God is going to | count the votes. Vote for prohibition laud you will lie voting for him, for orider, for religion and for the highest civilization. He closed hy asking them I all to go down on their knees that night and pray God to help them to e u ry the amendment. The struggle for the late Justice Matliew's shoes grows wanner. A few weeks ago when the death of Justice I Mathews beeaine a certainty of several ! days, Judge Oresham seemed to have j the race for the Supreme Court vacancy all to himself. Now tilings are not I s-j certain. Ohio comes forward with j her candidates and claims the prior ; right to fill the vacancy. And the reasons given by the Ohio delegation are pertinent, imsmucii as uino nas nau i hiit <?nc prominent appointment?that jofMurut Halstead?from the present administration, and the disastrousend1 ing of that one, of course makes her no | appointment at all. The late Chief I Justice Waite ami Mr. Mathews were jhoth from the JJuckeve State, and if , tlie delegation caw agree on the man, Ohio will probably have the next Justiceship, and Judge Gresham will he loneof the angriest men in the hro:ul ' land. 31 any of tlie olliee seekers who have jbecn lingeniig around Washington sine..* and even previous to the -1th of i March, show signs of weariness. "I lu v go to the Whit* House often, but the look of hope has vanished from i their faces. At least so it appeared to me while I shut myself off from the {fresh (Spring air and watched the movements of the placa-lninters in the White House for more than two hours. Deep lines of care now mark counte; nances Hint came to Washington radii.Hit with hope, and many pocket books (that were comfortably corpulent sonic j weeks a^o have withered away as if I wilh some fell disease. ! Anion;; the President's callers are many Senators and Congressmen with their conslitnents and candidates. | 1'he burden of their requests is, "Please hurry up those appointments?the :strain \< wearing me out?and thousands of active Republicans are elamor! injr for them." And the President promises relief as soon as possible.

I First, as to area, the two Dakotas j cover very nearly ft fly million acres leach. South Dakota is larger than New York, New Hampshire and| ! Massachusetts. There is enough more!

General J. B. Wall of Tampa was eliosen President of tlie i Senate and J)r. J. L. (joskins oi" Starke ' Speaker of the House. In taking hisj seat the lalter made a brief speech, in ! which he said : ; "I cannot believe it was ever the in-j itention of Jefferson that any man re-i ieeiving a majority of the votes of the I whole people should not take the posi-j jtion of President of the United States, ( !yet the startling fact confronts lis that ; ;Cleveland received ys.Odl) more voles! than his opponent and still is not Pres- j ident. It is the duty of the Florida' Legislature to inquire into and correct j this defect in the national organism in : | so far as it can."

Alone we must stand sometimes ; and if our better nature is not to shiink into weak,'ness, we must take with us the thought which was the strength of Christ: "Vet I am not alone, because 1 the Father is with me.'"
